Hello all.
Listen, I'm very sorry. Honesty I am. I'm not abandoning this story, but I'm asking for time. I know a few of you have said you could no longer follow the story due to the fact that updates are so few and far in between. You're right; they are random at best. But I will share with you a piece of my personal life as way of explanation, so that you may understand why things are the way they are.
I'm going through a divorce. The struggles in my marriage are something that's been going on for several months now. I'm sure you could trace them back to the point where updates first started to become very spread out. While these problems have been here for a while, we remained together and tried to work things through. Unfortunately it does not seem as though that is possible now. As you know I work very long overnight shifts Thursday through Sunday. Because of the distance I live from my job, I stay with a friend during my work week. Last weekend while I was gone my husband packed himself and our two year old daughter up and left. I do not tell you this for sympathy or for any other reason than to appeal to basic human compassion. Please understand that it is difficult for me become inspired to write, but that I am working on it. Slowly but surely.
You have all been so generous and supportive over these long months, and it means more to me than you might ever comprehend. Know that I love your kind words, and your thoughtful messages as you check up on me to make sure that I am still doing well. I love you all, and I pray you will grant me time to finish this story, and bring John and Margaret back together.
